Importing phone numbers

    Hi guys,

    I have 3 columns created using tablepress, but when I import a file or a manual import using this format 444-444-444 for a phone number, instead of placing the entire phone number in one field, it breaks it down into 3 fields [444][444][444]. I am assuming that happens because of the dash (-). How can I import a list of phone numbers, but make it so each of the phone numbers is imported into 1 field?

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    The problem here likely is that there is no other column in the table. Due to that, the importer finds - as the delimiter. To work around this, you could either add another column to the table (it could be empty and then deleted in TablePress), or you escape the numbers by enclosing them in quotation marks in the CSV file, like

    "444-444-444"
"555-555-555"

    and so on.

    Regards,
    Tobias
